9:01 pm
couple other states like virginia h2o 3 electoral votes. >> team coverage for you tonight. laura is live at mitt romney election headquarters in boston. >> and mark live in chicago at the obama headquarters and mark let's start with you there obviously an exciting time in chicago. >> half hour ago when they made the announcement this place erupted. reminded me of 4 years ago in grant park. let me show you the crowd, mike move up to the front of the little riser space here and show you the crowd that stretches from one end of the hall to the other. it is i would guess 10,000. if you lack down to the end of the hall. big crowd. every time another state is announced that crowd just goes crazy. it is completely chalked full of people. i have been talking to the national field director of the campaign that told me really the key to this win tonight was the ground game. we have been hearing that for days but listen to this figure just released today. they say
9:02 pm
they registered 1.79 million new voters just in the swing states and that doubles the number of all the registered voters that they signed up in 2008. earlier tonight i was talking with california attorney general pamela harris came back from a couple days on a bus tour in iowa and ohio about the ground game. here's what she had to say. >> obama campaign has been about the ground game. on the ground when you walk into these offices talk to people standing in line to vote you meet the hero and the angel walking among us. they are there without any expectation of 0celebrity. they are there because they really are trawl patriots. that's what makes me have the energy that i do. i meet these folks and they are, they believe in our country. they believe that their vote matters and 0to vote it's most
9:03 pm
patriotic act anyone of us can did so when i see the hundreds of people standing in line to do that gives me faith in the future of our country. really does. >>reporter: as pamela harris 2 days in ohio this week. another number to throw at you. 125 million he number of door knock and phone calls not robo call but phone calls obama campaign says they made in those swing states and tonight it has paid off for them in a big way. reporting from chicago, 7 news. >> ground game so important in the process. live in chicago. >> let's check in now with laura. >> live in boston at mitt romney election night headquarters much different scene there of course. >> it's a bit different. i would say it's sort of a combination of emotions here. fair amount of resignation would i say in the past half hour. various network projected. president as the
9:04 pm
winner in the race but then for a time there was some discussion that it wasn't over yet. let's show you first of all just the scene behind me. the grand stage here at the ballroom at the boston convention center. this is where governor romney will take the stage at some point. it appears that some things are about to happen because we saw some photographers the photographers that normally travel with the candidate came in and lined newspaper front of the stage then almost as abrup abruptly they left. at the same time the public hundreds still here relatively quiet but they are still here they were will ayoued to push all the way up to the stage which gave us some indication that perhaps the governor would come out but at the same time and this is an evening of mixed signal in boston at the same time we have information that the governor hasn't left his hotel but still watching the returns as they have been throughout the evening with his family in nearby hotel and that he is
9:05 pm
continuing to do that so again sort of surreal. folks have booed and clapped. seen tears. we have seen chanting. governor romney governor romney this is after the race had been called by virtually all the network one network in particular on the big screen short time ago started talking about that it may not over yet in ohio and all of a sudden the spirit in the room lifted. so it's an interesting place to be tonight. certainly in their minds far from over and certainly not practically over until the governor himself comes out and speaks. live in boston, 7 news. >> of course we will bring that to you the moment he does. thank you. >> supposedly mitt romney didn't prepare concession speech only victory speech whether true or not we didn't know but we'll find out when he comes out. breakdown the vote for the president in californi california. early results we have for. this is in
9:06 pm
california 54 percent of the voters voted for president obama compared to 44 percent for mitt romney in california. >> joining us now to provide some analysis for us as the votes come in melinda jackson from state university. >> you are expert on polling and the polls literally were spot on. >> we have had absolutely no surprises tonight in terms of the electoral klechblingt the state poll were very accurate predicting the outcome this year so despite some skepticism about whether or not the poll would get it right it seems like they really did soil. far no big surprises there on the national level. >> yes. so far we are seeing that presidential campaign that spent more than 2 billion dollars is ending up with very little change even in the electoral college map it looks very similar to 2008 couple of states that obama won last time he didn't win this time north carolina and indiana but other
9:07 pm
than that shaping up to lack very similar to last time around. >> mitt romney people obviously have same access everyone else do. smart politically in the last day or 2 mitt romney was very confident as any candidate would be but they had this information they had to have known it was likely to go this way. >> you would think yes and if you trust the data then this was not a surprise. data was right on and despite the fact that more and more people are only using cell phones so they may harder to reach with polling. despite the fact that some poll are robo call with no person on the other end but computer asking the question the poll adapted and clearly we can see they were very accurate and the prediction of obama victory has played out. >> we heard mark matthews talking about the importance of the ground game for the democrat and getting out there and making inroad in certain
9:08 pm
counties. it seems they had analytical way of approaching this this is another big development in the election cycle. technology is moving so fast and a lot of the market research technique of tracking what people do on line and what that tells us about what product they might be likely to buy that was put into use in the political campaign this year by tracking different types of voters and really targeting specific voters based on their lifestyle and the issues that might be important to them so young voters were targeted differently through social media and through ads directed at that particular democratic group whereas older voters or hispanic voters might be targeted using different sets of ads. >> more traditional. >> yes. also helped with the voter turn out or the ground game because they could target specific voters based on voting history and much more 70's indicate entered working on getting out those voters on election day.
9:09 pm
>> we'll check back with you once we start talking mr. about proposition of things as well. >> thanks. standby. >> local race to talk about. state wide issue everyone talked about and so much advertising proposition 30. would provide funding to schools and xhuntd colleges through temporary taxes including tax on the biggest earners. >> taking a look at the results right now. no is ahead with 53 percent of the vote. 47 percent are saying yes but this is with just 14 percent of the precinct reporting. >> now this is an issue that governor brown campaigned very hard for. lee ann is live in sacramento she's following this at the yes on 30 headquarters. >>reporter: that's right. this is a proposition that i think everyone in california is watching at the moment. supporters of proposition 30 gathered here at the sheraton hotel in sacramento. waiting for those final results. the mood i have to say is very festive so far. governor brown is not expected to arrive i'm told for at least another hour.
9:10 pm
i heard one volunteer say we believe we are finally here. it's over. it has been a long costly campaign. a lot of hard work by a lot of volunteers and supporters. prop 30 again is of referred to as governor rescue plan which of course raises taxes to avoid those so-called trigger cuts and it has been slipping or had been slipping in the polls in the last several weeks but again you had the undecided voters and when i talked to the governor last night he said he wasn't at all concerned. he was sure he was going to win and we'll just have to see right now. live in sacramento, abc 7 news. >> thanks very much. >> another tax measure on the ballot. proposition 38. it would increase the state income tax rate for most california an on sliding scale with the whyed that that money would go to

9:12 pm
with genetically engineered ingredient. if the measure is approved california would be the first state to label such food. opponent including a lot of food producers say it would make food more expensive but some family farmer say not tru true. >> it's important to us. our consumers want to know. they want us and write us and tell us and choose does the food have gm o ingredient. >> family paying more money at the grocery stories about the state paying more money to regulate this up to 1 million dollars a year. we have said from the beginning voters need to look in the details of prop 37. >> no on 37 opponent said measure is misleading and cost food growers money and create a lot of red tape. other country require food labeling. we'll see if california will join them. night is still young.
9:13 pm
